Fantasy managers are treated to the remaining eight matches of Gameweek 16 this Wednesday evening, with a trio of
encounters getting underway at 7.45pm.

Sadio Mane and Divock Origi are the form men as Liverpool look for a first win in three at the Riverside. Roberto Firmino arrives on the back of four straight blanks and was second only to Charlie Austin for transfers out in the Gameweek.

With Eden Hazard absent, the stage is set for Diego Costa as Chelsea visit Sunderland. The Blues frontman was the most captained player in Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 16, with 23% handing him the armband.

West Ham embark on the first of three very favourable fixtures, with Dimitri Payet and Michail Antonio on our radars for the visit of Burnley.

In the 8pm matches, all eyes will be on Captain Poll winner Harry Kane as Spurs welcome Hull to White Hart Lane. We’ll also be monitoring Scout Picks duo Toby Alderweireld and Christian Eriksen against the struggling Tigers.

In-form pair Christian Benteke and Zlatan Ibrahimovic go head-to-head as Palace welcome United to Selhurst Park. With returns in six of the last seven, Wilfried Zaha was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 16.

With Sergio Aguero suspended, faith in Man City has dwindled ahead of what should be a plum home clash against Watford. Kevin De Bruyne is the man most likely as the Etihad side look to recover from back-to-back defeats.

We’re also keeping a keen eye on Differential Sofiane Boufal as Southampton head to Stoke. Having bagged the winner at home to ‘Boro, the Moroccan could be set to step up in the absence of Charlie Austin, promoting his prospects as a mid-price midfield candidate ahead of some fine fixtures.

West Brom have their work cut out to stop Gylfi Sigurdsson as Swansea make their way to the Hawthorns.

The Swans’ playmaker has racked up four goals and as many assists in eight appearances under Bob Bradley and faces a defence with one clean sheet in the last 12 Gameweeks.

Matt Phillips and Salomon Rondon also have the chance to maintain momentum tonight – Swansea have conceded 12 goals in four road trips since their new manager was installed.

    Hazard. Firmino. Walcott. Sigurdsson. Nacho. Costa. Kane.

    I hate my team.

        Just lost Phil Jones CS as well... :+1:

      Looks good on paper - mine is:

      Sanchez - Hazard - Sigurdsson - Firmino - De Roon
      Costa - Kane - Carroll

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        So much pain to have a team that is good on paper, but is not in the points.

        1. diesel001

          give it time - 5 weeks will see the net gains come in.....

  3. The Left Duke #3

    Going Firmino to Payet over Lallana or Eriksen is by far my worst transfer this season, what a complete disaster.

  4. Yome
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    United are terrible, how long Mou is going to keep his job

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Needs 2 more transfer windows.

    2. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Until he wins at least one PL.

      I bet he didn't sign a Moyes style contract.

      Buy him over Origi was another expensive mistake.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It was a horrible mistake. I love this site but so many on here saying Origi was not nailed.

  8. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Carroll off. Makes me feel slightly better as a Nacho owner.

  9. Sp0rting
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That's it then.

    Haz and Wally to Sanchez and Lallana.

    My work here is dumb.

    1. FPL Daniel

  11. Les Bleus

    Penalty not given to United, followed by a wrongly disallowed goal. Smh

  12. OldSchool
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Manu goal wa not offside

  13. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This is too much. I've never had so many clean sheets...

  14. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Remember when Firmino, Hazard and Kane were essential?

    Then I bought them.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Then I captained all three and halved their points output again

  15. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Barragan or Chambers more nailed?

  16. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mané+Austin > Origi+Eriksen for free

    Yay or Nay?

    Rp..

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino >

    A. Eriksen
    B. Lallana

  18. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Proud that i've kept Lallana through his injury, that's really paying off now; disappointed in Firmino, though, he looks tired.

    Kane captain hasn't done anything but i'm glad i've playd both Rose and Walker, double assist. Wowzers.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years

    Man u goal clearly offside

    1. Les Bleus

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brunt is that good tbf

  21. itwaswritten

    Iheanacho is coming on in the last 20 mins and scoring.

    xox

  22. MarkyMarkovic

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Strong def and keeper points are key to getting consistently giving yourself an above average change of great points.

    1. Delhidynamo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Troo

  23. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane, Costa, Carroll, Walcott > who for -12?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No point - chasing points is not the way to go.....

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Rondon, Origi, Kaku, Brunt

  24. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen taking free kick

  25. Dimen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mata goal is NOT offside. Mata is behind last Palace defender, but he is also BEHIND ROJO! No offisde.

  26. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Did Kane not get assist?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Walker

  27. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who tends to have the more accurate average GW score prediciton?

    FFFix: 48
    FPLDisc: 43

    FFF has consistently been higher than FPLDisc all evening.

  28. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll over Origi was the stupidest decision of my season and has killed me

  29. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bye Nacho, I don't blame you, Pep is clueless.

    Nice mobile version Mark and co. Also the switch option to desktop mode is splendid and so neat 😉
